"Fighting HIV/AIDS in America and around the world will require more than just fighting the virus,"President Obama said, according to the Associated Press. "It will require a broader effort to make life more just and equitable."

In addition to slashing the infection rate, the strategy calls for increasing patients' access to care so that 85 percent of those infected receive care within three months of being diagnosed, up from 65 percent who do so now.
